- With The Gabba being demolished — will that have a negative impact on property values in the area?

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred has disrupted our regular programming, so we’re bringing you a timely and insightful conversation between James and a special guest. This week, The Demographics Group’s Simon Kuestenmacher unpacks the key trends shaping Australia’s cities, workforce, and population.

We explore the role of migration in driving economic growth, how our biggest cities are evolving, and the infrastructure challenges of a growing nation. Simon also dives into the impact of remote work, artificial intelligence, and urban density shifts—revealing what these changes mean for housing, jobs, and liveability.
